I suppose 1 million homes, 1 million worthwhile jobs that'll make people want to get up in the morning as well as £500 billion injection into the economy is credible.

Actually, against the amount of money we p*** away on non peaceful nuclear and other 'defence' needs, yes, it is perfectly credible. And worthwhile jobs; or at least our fair share of head office / strategic jobs that have disappeared to the continent. I certainly agree, as do several of my ex BHS friends, that getting up to work for a firm where the boss doesn't think you are something he stepped in on the pavement and isn't sailing round the Med. spending your future career prospects, might be a better alternative than what's on offer by our dark and light blue colleagues!

Monster Raving Tories - Pro EU, but likely hard Brexit and much austerity & hardship unless you are a swindling fat cat. Strong party leader who is popular with the membership and cabinet.

Laborious- Pro EUish but with a support largely anti-EU; perhaps Brexit lite whilst they promise anything with a dollop of repulsive shadow cabinet members. Weak leader, popular with the membership but not popular in parliament.

If Labour does do badly and Corbyn stands down, all the more reason to vote Labour round here. The very last thing we want is yet another coalition with a party which had a manifesto that makes Labour's look sane! If the LibDims do pick up the odd seat, like West Berks, we are in deep trouble. With them, it's not don't hold your breath, more don't breath in!

The idea of legalising cannabis, taxing sales and using the revenue to pay for the programme. Presumably the LibDims will continue to try and outlaw smoking! Frankly, a safer approach would be to legalise prostitution and tax that - would solve the NHS problem wouldn't it?

Sorry, and it's probably me being very cynical, but what happened to the policies they had when in coalition? Anyway, West Berks ought to be once bitten twice shy.
